Gene: SLC15A2
Alternate names for this Gene: PEPT2
Gene Summary: The mammalian kidney expresses a proton-coupled peptide transporter that is responsible for the absorption of small peptides, as well as beta-lactam antibiotics and other peptide-like drugs, from the tubular filtrate. This transporter, SLC15A2, belongs to the same gene family as SLC15A1 (MIM 600544), the proton-coupled peptide transporter found in the small intestine (Liu et al, 1995 [PubMed 7756356]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2011].
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q13.33
Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 15 member 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
